#i'd also put yonghoon and dongmyeong from onewe here but they're not technically idols

hi!! i've been reading up on your blog for a while now, and i'm sorry if you've answered this before, but i've been wondering who in your opinion would be the top tier idol dancers nowadays? and maybe performers as well, since personally i think a skilled performer doesn't really have to be all that great of a dancer. thank u for sharing ur insights with us!! they're very interesting :]

hello!! i have sort of answered this before (don't worry it was almost a year ago) with my top dancers post, and there's also this post where i discuss which idol dancers could keep up with professionals, of which there is some obvious crossover. as far as active idols who are skilled performers not exclusive of dance ability (all of these people are good dancers though):

junsu, whom now has both years of idol performance AND musical theatre performance and it shows. i wish he hadn't dropped pit a pat at basically the same time as taemin dropped idea because it slipped my radar at the time but i genuinely do not want to shut up about the choreography because holy SHIT. key, because we all saw bad love. changmin, because if chocolate and being the other half of tvxq for ten years hasn't convinced anyone the horrible disarming preacher act of devil surely did. kahi and sunye, thank god for mamadol + wooah hip (kahi white sunye red) and giving them a second chance because i missed them and we need more active second gen idols. dawn, because money is one of my all time favourite performances from an idol and frankly all these new boys could stand for a little more weird victorian waif in their vibes (here's a live version). utterly predictably: hongjoong and san, and yes this is the point where i plug the only fancam ever. and also: donghun. i don't always expect much of a main vocal, especially in a performance heavy group but donghun always delivers no matter what he's doing, whether it's a dance cover (nirvana shirt) or just a vocal stage.

#i'd also put yonghoon and dongmyeong from onewe here but they're not technically idols #and i have to cut it off somewhere because even though i complain about model faces there are a lot of good performers out there #i feel like i miss people constantly bc my memory is trash #i could have also used maniac but devil is SO clearly a different and more subtle character for changmin so it's much more illustrative #even though maniac has more obvious bombast #i really should just make a tag of 'these are all my best/fave x' posts alskjdf #kpop questions #fave posts #literally how are we supposed to go on while donghun is enlisted. how. who is holding up the fourth gen vocals. #how many times have i linked the alexander moment? i don't even know at this point. those 40 secs are so fucking insane #he did that for NO ONE!!! THERE'S NO MAIN CAMERA ON HIM!!!!!! #again. i need to express. ALEXANDER EGOT WHEN #text #answers #i hope you had fun reading my backlog! i've tried organizing it but it probably could be better. i can't believe it's been a year now wtf
